Who knew it was possible to fit the Holiday Artisan Market (28 vendors), a holiday Food Drive, and an art show of work by students of Sara Broderick at College of the Redwoods - all comfortably inside of Wright's! The Artisan Holiday Market opened at 11 am and was open through the Art Walk. It opens again Sunday morning at 11 am and was organized by Len and Violet Burton (above).
